So I arrive at the boat ramp about 6pm, crappie on my mind, country music playing. But wait, what's this? That's strange, a car parked in the boat ramp, facing down the ramp? Something must have happened I say to myself.
I look for signs of trouble but then I spot him - a guy throwing frisbees to his dogs in the water. "Wow" I say to myself. I should say something - nah it's not a big deal. About that time a boat pulls up to the dock at the other ramp and now I see my fishing time jeopardized.
So I step out of the truck.
"Hey. Hey!"
He looks my way,
"You know the boat ramp is for loading and unloading boats?"
The man turns around to look at the boat ramp, as if seeing it for the first time. Then turns back to me dumbfounded.
"The boat ramp! It's for loading and unloading boats!"
Him: "Really? Er uh.... I just.... I thought it was for throwing frisbees"
"No, actually, the boat ramp is for loading and unloading boats"
You can see the revelation beginning to sink into his cranium. I can't tell if he's really this stupid, or is just being an a**.
Him: "Well, there's two of them!" he says
"Yeah that's so two people can unload at the same time"
Him: "Oh, well..., uh..... yeah"
Now the look of disbelief starts to show just a hint of anger. You can see the new thought working in his mind, "who's this guy, to tell me what I can and can't do at a boat ramp?"
I see the emotion on his face, and not really wanting to escalate the confrontation, I begin retreating to my truck. It's not that big of a deal, and you never know how crazy people are.
"All I'm saying, is it's a boat ramp. For loading and unloading boats"
Him: "Well, uh, ok I guess" starting to look a littler more upset
So I hop in my truck and start putting in the other ramp. Soon after, he gets his dogs and shoots out in a cloud of dust, obviously upset that I disturbed his quality time with his dogs.
Looking forward to fall weather
